CLOTHES-POUNDER.

` SPECIFICTION forming part of Letters Patent No. 734,860, dated July 28, 1903,

Application filed October 20. 14902.

T all whom, it may concern:

Be it knownthat I, STEPHEN HARPER, asubject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Leeds, in the county of York, England, have invented a new and useful Improvement,in Glothes-Pounders, of which the following is a specification.

` the clothes-pounder.

It consists in the novel constructiouand combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure l is a side view of Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the lower part of the pounder.

` Fig. 3 is a plan View ofthe pounder from bei low.V

B is an operating-handle provided with a cross-piece A at its upper part. The lower part B of the handle is tapered, and it is secured centrally in a disk G.' C is a cylinder secured around the periphery of the disk G and provided with perforations D. The cyl;

serial No. 128.006. (No man.)

moves on the handle it does not loosen the cone E. As the disk G becomes loose on the tapering portion of the handle from use in pounding clothes it is pushed farther up the tapering handle, and in this manner the de vice is kept in good working order.

In a clothes-pounder, the combination, with a handle having a tapering portion near its lower end, of a disk secured on the said tapering portion, a perforated cylinder secured around the periphery of the said disk, and a perforated hollow cone having its smaller end secured to the lower end portion of the said handle which projects through the said disk inside the said cylinder, said cone being secured independent of the said disk andV cylinder and being arranged inside the said eylinder with its bottom edge above the level of the bottom edge of the cylinder.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

STEPHEN HARPER.
